22 Best Sushi Bars in Kansas City

“This place hands down. has the best of the best and the freshest food. #1 in kcmo kata nori for me is a number 1 pick..“

“Very good Bento Box. Like honestly I was very impressed by the food. It smelled a bit fishy in there, but of course it is a sushi place. Oh and that little candy thing they give at the end of the meal that's no bigger than a pill is my new favorite hard candy and the entire trip is worth it just for that tiny little piece of heaven.“

“Sushi Kodawari is a great omakase experience. The staff is professional and attentive to the guests. Getting to enjoy the freshly grated wasabi and a dozen pieces of imported nigiri is a treat. Lots of cool decorations are touches that give a true transportive experience like your in Japan. Would dine here again.

Thanks Karson and Beth!“

“I came in on a random night and was honestly completely blown away by the General Manager, Jan, who was on duty at the PNL location.

She was absolutely incredible. I’ve never in my life seen a manager be that personable, present, and accommodating especially in such a busy environment. I watched her jump between roles effortlessly helping staff, checking on guests, solving problems, and making sure everything ran smoothly. You could tell she truly cared, not just about the operation, but about the people in the room.

What stood out most was how she stayed so attentive and engaged even while the restaurant was packed. She took the time to connect with every table, made sure everyone felt taken care of, and handled everything with kindness and professionalism. That level of leadership is rare.

It’s obvious this place is run by someone who leads by example and genuinely takes pride in what they do. Experiences like this don’t happen often, and it’s the reason I’ll absolutely be back.

You’re truly the BEST, Jan!! Thank you! 🤍“

“By far the best sushi place in the Northland. I've eaten here for years and have never been disappointed with the food or service. The staff is very polite and courteous. After establishing myself as a repeat customer they began recognizing my number (when ordering over the phone) and remembering my favorite dishes. I wish them continued success and can't wait for my next visit.“

“We were glad to find Koji and his family again in this wonderful little restaurant! The food was exceptional . Koji and Miguel picked what we were served and we were not disappointed. Was like being at Nara only better . It's a great family owned restaurant. We felt like we were in our own kitchen being served by these wonderful people!“

“Great food and service! Delicious every time!“

“Incredible sushi! The staff is so friendly. They definitely have a passion for the business. You need to stop here! If not- you are definitely missing out!“

“A good selection of Korean and Japanese food. The bento boxes are a great option for lunch. It is a nice, warm atmosphere and not loud. You order at the counter. The menu on the wall behind the counter can be hard to read for those of us who need glasses.“

“My absolute favorite sushi place. The novelty of the conveyor belt is wonderful but the fact that you can custom order what you want at the kiosk at your table makes this place really stand out. So it doesn't matter where you sit because you can always order what you want and it comes generally pretty speedy. Only once out of my four visits so far have I had to wait significantly for rolls that I ordered. Wish this place offered regular wine though! You will be limited to a variety of sake, sodas, tea, and beer. Which is unfortunate since who I usually have sushi with is a wine drinker! And this is true of me as well.

If you have someone in your party who hates fish, there are some interesting steak rolls they can try as well as a children's menu with french fries. You can also order ramen bowls and other complete meals if you don't prefer sushi at all.

The price is definitely right at 3.50 per plate. The app also allows you to make reservations for busy times, which is a lifesaver on Friday night on the Plaza!“

“We took our family there for the first time tonight and we loved it. It was such a great experience. They were very nice and accommodating to our 2 toddlers and 9 year old. The food was amazing and that’s a lot coming from me because I do not like Chinese, Asian, Japanese food at all. I loved this food and the crab Rangoon are the best I’ve had. We are definitely going back!!“

“Some of the best ramen in town with great people and good service.. I never turn down a meal at OMO!“

“Everything was excellent!“

“I wish they would thank their customers and not just our nice corporations But i do enjoy eating all the great food“

“Sam was a great server this evening- friendly and efficient. Food and cocktails were great!“

“Drinks where great! I ordered a samurai and was very pleased with it. I'm not much the drinker however. What I am, is a enjoyer of shrimp. I ordered the Tokyo special that came with steak chicken and shrimp with fried rice and had a blast with it! The flavor was excellent! Can't wait to go back and have it again!“
